A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.

The artist of today is more than an improved camera, he is more complex, richer, and wider. He is a creature on the earth and a creature within the whole, that is, a creature on a star among stars.

One does not lash hat lies at a distance. The foibles that we ridicule must at least be a little bit our own. Only then will the work be a part of our own flesh. The garden must be weeded.

Art does not reflect what is seen, rather it makes the hidden visible.

Nothing can be rushed. It must grow, it should grow of itself, and if the time ever comes for that work, then so much the better!

I want to be as though new-born, knowing nothing, absolutely nothing about Europe.

Art makes something a lot more visible or audible.
